Pathway to a Competitive European Fuel Cell micro-CHP Market – PACE

Challoch was subcontracted by COGEN Europe to undertake work under the PACE projects’ standardisation work stream. Challoch looked specifically at standardisation issues relating to installation and included a literature review, a questionnaire and follow up interviews.


PACE is a major EU project promoting large-scale European deployment of Fuel Cell micro-Cogeneration in homes. PACE will see over 2,800 householders across Europe reaping the benefits of this home energy system. The project will enable manufacturers to move towards product industrialisation and will foster market development at the national level by working together with building professionals and the wider energy community. The project uses modern fuel cell technology to produce efficient heat and electricity at home, empowering consumers in their energy choices.
